William Whitehill Lindsay (1886 – 1976) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left, mainly for Morton where he was a regular in Scottish Division One for seven seasons.[2] During that period the Greenock club usually finished towards the bottom of the league table – they were 17th of 18 teams in 1908–09 and 1909–10, though improved to 6th place in 1911–12.
His younger brother James was also a footballer; the siblings played for Belfast club Glentoran when they won the Irish Cup in 1914 (both scoring in the final), followed by the international Vienna Cup.[1][3]
